I was born under a black oak tree A vision grew in me At age 16 I met my Wolverine She pointed her finger at me She cried oh sha-la-la-la Oh sha-la-la-la From where do I know you? I was born on the hillside At night I listened to the howling wind Above me stars would sing In the distance I heard a church bell ring At night I still hear her sing She sings oh sha-la-la-la Oh sha-la-la-la From where do I know you? I was born on the hillside She cried oh sha-la-la-la Oh sha-la-la-la Soon I will join her Sing out loud from the hillside

Carved your name into my heart Silver razor sharp, so sharp Your name so alive to me I glow, my beloved tragedy So sharp, your secrecy, to me I tore out the crying eye, my eye I bled your morning dry, so dry Your name so alive to me I glow, my beloved tragedy So sharp, your secrecy, to me

Come and find my castle in the woods In my castle we can make life good Try and find the friends you never had Shed the flesh, you seem so sad Slip the night with me All the glories of the woods you’ll see Run away with me To the castle in the woods with me Live your life in a world so cold Come with me I'll show you Spanish gold In the castle, the joys of the heathen Filled with wine and the women of Eden Slip the night with me All the glories of the woods you’ll see Run away with me To the castle in the woods with me Raise your head, don’t be confused Take the rope and fasten the noose Come and find my castle in the woods In my castle we can make life good Slip the night with me All the glories of the woods you’ll see Run away with me To the castle in the woods with me

I’m leaving you today but I’m sure I’ll remember you In the light the moon I feel it came a little too soon I break your smile, you throw your arms around me But once upon a time I found I had to roam free Forevermore … On the cold hearted express I’m leaving town today, but I wish you the very best Leaving on the cold hearted express A wicked way to end it I must confess No time for tears on the cold hearted express Just another damsel in distress Like lovers’ silent tragedy, I can’t, I can’t wait for you The road is calling, gypsy blood rushes through me Through me … On the cold hearted express I’m leaving you today, but I wish you the very best Leaving on the cold hearted express I’m so sorry, I wish you the very best

Flying over the crimson sky Drawn from the wind of change Stellar figure at the chime of the bell Comes out for the final revenge Cold, as you turn, then you burn Crawl out from the inside Electric professor Rays of dark igniting your eyes Spawned from your own wicked lies Crawl as you do when you whisper of doom You clutch at your chance of power to rise Rise, Mr. Demise, sorrow and lies Crawl out from the inside Electric professor Can one wicked mind change the course of time? Or will the wheels of fortune pass you by? Never so clever, the truth makes you blind The power of lies builds its own demise Cold, as you turn, then you burn Crawl out from the inside Electric professor

I am the scourge of a thousand worlds I jinxed the Gods and thunder I hurl A thousand virgins scream my name As we make love with razorblades Because … I am a child of dragonfire I am the sin you desire Sweet, wicked whispers from my unborn choir Chanting for the child of dragonfire It takes a shallow soul to understand With cloven hoof am I beast or man? I rule under the sullen rune I will dance forever on the dark dunes of doom Because … I am a child of dragonfire I am the sin you desire Sweet, wicked whispers from my unborn choir Chanting for the child of dragonfire

If I told you about the silent chamber Would you understand? That this life brings a lonely ending Lonely as the desert sand Let us fall deeper and deeper Realize, never cover your eyes Let us fly like a stormy winter What are you hoping to find? And I will push, and you will open With your trembling hands To remember what’s still unspoken Then you will understand Let us fall deeper and deeper Realize, never cover your eyes Let us fly like a stormy winter What are you hoping to find? Deep down …

How you shone my little broken wing You were the star of the scene when you did your thing Winter to spring you would dance and sing But the slow poison caught you and slowly killed everything Little wing you longed for that long-lost love Did it take off in the night and leave you alone at dawn? If you asked me to, I would do all for you But they turned the color of the red rose withered blue Oh… Little broken wing Oh… Little broken wing A tear falls like holy water from your eye Like a cry from ancient Gods that die Sing a song with me little wing one last time Tell of times when you were the best friend of mine Oh… Little broken wing Oh… Little broken wing

Arrows 04:00
Are you a shining star? Are you running off to far? I remember when you were here You were running to face your fear Like an arrow that hits the tree Like a magnet you drew me near Did you ease the pain inside? Did it fuel your aimless ride? Did the empty world close in? Or did it drain you from within? Like the arrow you had the speed Like the newborn you had the need Did you reach your final shore? Or did you ship out to drift once more? I remember you said you’d stay But the storms blew up again Like arrows, a shooting star Like arrows the way we are

Take me to the heavens high I’ll be there when Gods die On a throne among the emperors To hear them cry as Gods die They will die for the breeze Die for the sun Rise and die again Take me heaven high when Gods die Thrust the dagger upon a poisoned sky Falling tears for the accused in the halls of Zeus Are you the one who wants to rule among the stars? Will you reach that far? For every prayer lost in tears To one day shine, a dim lit star Will you die for the breeze? Die for the sun? Rise and die again? Take me heaven high when Gods die Thrust the dagger upon a poisoned sky Falling tears for the accused in the halls of Zeus Die for the breeze Die for the sun Rise and die again Take me heaven high when Gods die Thrust the dagger upon a poisoned sky Falling tears for the accused in the halls of Zeus No falling tears for the accused in the halls of Zeus

My funny best friend run to me Can the riddles of your mind set you free? Now I’ve got Schizophrenia Crazy blue phobia cheats on you You wander the wonderlands of a broken mind That’s where you rule, you are a queen so kind That’s where the angels spiral in the summer rain I see your eyes, you’ve crossed over again Hysteria, gung-ho Schizophrenia To the wonderlands we go, everlasting coma Do you remember the days of youth and a happy mind? Now I crown you queen of wonderlands Beauty shines in your eyes of blue Sister I have seen the wonderlands too I’ll send all my angels to guard you And if you need me, I’ll cross over for you If you need me, I’ll cross over for you You know I’ll do … You know I’ll do …

about

18 years after the debut, Wolfnaut (Wolfgang) finally released its sophomore effort. "Castle in the Woods" was recorded in legendary Athletic Sound, Halden, Norway, and released in 2016. The album was recorded live in studio on all analogue equipment and with minimal overdubs.

"Castle in the Woods" was well received by critics:
«Guitar driven hard rock mixed with metal can arguably not be done any better” (Scream Magazine, Norway).
“I enjoyed this immensely… It’s solid, organic and everything is turned up to the max” (Powerplay Magazine, UK).
“This album is a pure hard rock affair. Honest, open and with a flavor of stoner rock that gives it just the right zest” (Rock Hard Magazine, Slovakia).

about

Wolfnaut Norway

Forged in the sounds of early hard rock and metal, and the desert rock scene that exploded in the mid-1990s, WOLFNAUT (formerly known as Wolfgang) has made it a quest to investigate the musical landscapes between hooky twin-guitar based songs, and sludgy and doomy stoner rock. Hailing from the deep forests of Elverum, Norway, Wolfnaut has played to headbanging audiences from Trondheim to Duisburg. ... more
